About the Books

Between Heaven & Hell, Book 2

Title: Between Heaven & Hell

Author: Astrid V. Tallaksen

Genre: Urban Fantasy / Paranormal Romance

Being a fallen angel used to be easy. A quiet life with the people she loves is all Sara ever asked for. Unfortunately, the apocalypse didn't get the message. After nearly losing everything, she's managed to put her life back together and start living what she hoped was happily ever after with her small family. Now she wants nothing more than to hide away and pretend the end of the world is a distant rumor. Her life has already been torn apart once. Doesn't she deserve a break?

The apocalypse finds its way back to her doorstep when a letter arrives. Is it a friendly warning, a dire threat, or a simple reminder that she can't run away from what's to come? Sara refuses to take heed and pays dearly for her avoidance. With her family in danger and the preservation of free will hanging in the balance, she finds herself with no other choice. Sara must follow the path forged for her, a path that may take away everything she holds dear and leave her in pieces at the end. She's caught between Heaven and Hell, and the last person she'd ever have considered trusting might just be her greatest ally.

At Death’s Door, Book 1

Title: At
Death’s Door

Author: Astrid
V. Tallaksen

Genre: Urban
Fantasy / Paranormal Romance

The world is a pretty straightforward place. Even for medium Sara
Stone things seem pretty simple, aside from the whole talking to spirits bit.
But when the spirits get too hard to handle and Sara ends up admitted to a
mental hospital, the world starts to seem a lot less straightforward. First her
family disappears, including her four year old son. Then she gets the sneaking
suspicion that not only are the staff at the mental hospital somehow connected,
but they also have no intention of ever letting her leave the hospital.

Everything
changes when Sara has her first visitor in three months. Daniel is handsome,
friendly, and a complete stranger. When he promises to spring her from the
hospital and swears that everything she's experienced is completely real, Sara
has no choice but to believe him. But once she reaches a run-down Victorian
house in the tiny Alabama town her rescuer calls home, the last thing she
expects to discover is that every memory she has is a lie.

Daniel
reveals a world filled with angels, demons, and an impending war humans know
nothing about. Sara wants to ignore her role in the whole mess – all that
matters is solving the mystery of where her son has gone. But the forces of
Heaven, Hell, and the Heart have other plans for her. Can she find her child
before the world comes crashing down?

Author Bio

Astrid V. Tallaksen grew up with a heart
for stories of creatures and places outside of this world. Her love of reading
quickly became a love of writing. She spent several years creating content and helping
writers to improve their craft on the online world of Althanas, a creative
writing workshop in the guise of a roleplaying forum. A self-avowed nerd,
Astrid loves science fiction, comic books, and eighties fantasy movies in the
vein of The Princess Bride and Labyrinth. Her geekiness extends to annual
volunteer work at the massive sci-fi convention known as Dragon*con every year
in Atlanta, Georgia. In the odd times that she's not immersed in geekdom or
writing, Astrid loves to sing karaoke, crochet, and spend time with her family
and pets.

This is the second book in the
series, and it’s even better than the first one. And I didn’t think that was possible. It is also the saddest book I’ve read in a
very long time, but left me hopeful that the final book would have a happy
ending.

In this book Sara/Azreal, the angel
of death, loses those she holds most dear and finds someone new to care
for. It is a tragedy of Shakespearean
levels, but ends with a hint of hope.

I give this book 5 out of 5 clouds
and anxiously await book 3.

About the
Book

Title: Gifted: The Hayven Series

Author: J.A. George

Genre: YA Romance / Fantasy / Dystopian

“Why do birds fly? Why do lions hunt deer? Why does the
sun shine and the moon glow? Because it must. I wish I could tell you why, I
truly do. It mustn’t be easy, such pressure weighted on such young shoulders,
but we do not always choose the lives we must lead.”

Avery Gray had no choice but to be different. She was
not born that way; she was chosen.

After having met a special, silver-haired woman, and
the handsome and enigmatic Theodore-James Connors, Ava finds herself in Hayven,
a city separated from the rest of the world, where only gifters – ordinary
people with extra-ordinary gifts – can go. With Theo, his friends, Hayven, her
gift, and the ability to ‘travel’ in different colours, Ava must now accept
that she can no longer classify herself as normal. As friendships develop, and
Theo and Ava become closer than she anticipated, it turns out her new gifted
life comes with a catch. With no choice or say on the matter, Ava must save a
city she is starting to fall in love with; a city that has almost begun to feel
like home.

Author Bio

J.A. George is the author of the four-part series,
GIFTED: THE HAYVEN SERIES. Jessica spent years of her life reading book after
book before sitting on her bed one morning, opening her laptop and typing
Chapter One into her word document. Now, not only does she read book after
book, she now writes book after book too. When she's not writing, she's trying
to break her record of finishing a tub of Oreo ice cream in less than
forty-five minutes.

OMG, I cannot wait for book 2. This story was incredible. All the things I would love to be real are
real in this story. Magic and other worlds
where people have special gifts. I would
love to be friends with the people in this story because they all sound like
really interesting people.

I give this story 5 out of 5 clouds
and anxiously await the follow up.

I think this is probably the most
unique story about angels that I’ve ever read.
This story is about another group of angels….not the fallen/demons or
the heavenly hosts. This group decided
not to take sides and were sent to earth to live with free will. The story is about two and half angels and
what happens when you don’t know who you are, but you see ghosts and
spirits. It is also ultimately a love
story.

I laughed out loud and cries my eyes
out…so it was a good read.

I give this book 5 out of 5 clouds.
